This has never worked properly because wsize passed to
cxacru_cm() is incorrectly set to the number of values
instead of the data bytes. The maximum number of values
that can be set at once is 7 which means the device will
not get enough data to work with and none of the
configuration values will be used.
At least one existing cxacru-cf.bin file contains invalid
data which will prevent the modem from syncing properly.
Fixing it is likely to break existing systems, and the
new sysfs interface for setting configuration parameters
can provide the same functionality. A script is provided
to convert from the original format.

The modem can be configured using CM_REQUEST_CARD_DATA_SET,
although CM_REQUEST_CARD_DATA_GET does not return any data.
Tested by setting the modulation (0x0a) option.
There is a list of parameters in the following archive,
but the meaning of many of them is not well documented:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=301825
This source also indicates that the highest parameter set
is 0x4a but this varies by model so an arbitrary limit of
0x7f has been used (the index is a 32-bit integer).

It did mention autoconfigured in the text, but the below makes it more obvious.

This patch enables fast retransmissions after one dupACK for
TCP if the stream is identified as thin. This will reduce
latencies for thin streams that are not able to trigger fast
retransmissions due to high packet interarrival time. This
mechanism is only active if enabled by iocontrol or syscontrol
and the stream is identified as thin.

This patch will make TCP use only linear timeouts if the
stream is thin. This will help to avoid the very high latencies
that thin stream suffer because of exponential backoff. This
mechanism is only active if enabled by iocontrol or syscontrol
and the stream is identified as thin. A maximum of 6 linear
timeouts is tried before exponential backoff is resumed.

This fixes a problem in the DCCP getsockopt() API: currently there is no way
for a user to a priori know the number of built-in CCIDs, other than trying
DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS in a loop, incrementing the option length until
EINVAL is no longer returned.
This patch truncates the array to the user-provided length. No copy is made
when the length is <= 0.
Due to the length restriction in do_dccp_getsockopt() to sizeof(int), the
minimum array length remains 4, which is a reasonable default (only 3
CCIDs, CCID-2..4, are currently defined).

Early on this was an experimental facility that few
people other than Alexey Kuznetsov played with.
Now it's a pretty fundamental thing and as people add
more features to AF_PACKET sockets this config options
creates ifdef spaghetti.
So kill it off.

If the per device ARP_ACCEPT option is enable, currently we only allow
creating new ARP cache entries for response type gratuitous ARP.
Allowing gratuitous ARP to create new ARP entries (not only to update
existing ones) is useful when we want to avoid unnecessary delays for
the first packet of a stream.
This patch allows request type gratuitous ARP to create new ARP cache
entries as well. This is useful when we want to populate the ARP cache
entries for a large number of hosts on the same LAN.

3c509 was changed to support ethtool in 2002, making the 'xcvr' module
parameter obsolete in most cases. More recently 3c509 was converted
to the modern driver model and this parameter was removed. Fix the

This is to be used together with switch technologies, like RFC3069,
that where the individual ports are not allowed to communicate with
each other, but they are allowed to talk to the upstream router. As
described in RFC 3069, it is possible to allow these hosts to
communicate through the upstream router by proxy_arp'ing.
This patch basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same
interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received).
Tunable per device via proc "proxy_arp_pvlan":
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp_pvlan
This switch technology is known by different vendor names:
- In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation.
- Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN.
- Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation.
- Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).

This patch provides infrastructure for machine translation of the
regulatory rules database used by CRDA into a C data structure.
It includes code for searching that database as an alternative
to dynamic regulatory rules updates via CRDA. Most people should
use CRDA instead of this infrastructure, but it provides a better
alternative than the WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY infrastructure (which
can now be removed).

ipv4: add sysctl to accept packets with local source addresses
Change fib_validate_source() to accept packets with a local source address when
the "accept_local" sysctl is set for the incoming inet device. Combined with the
previous patches, this allows to communicate between multiple local interfaces
over the wire.

Define sysctl (tcp_cookie_size) to turn on and off the cookie option
default globally, instead of a compiled configuration option.
Define per socket option (TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS) for setting constant
data values, retrieving variable cookie values, and other facilities.
Move inline tcp_clear_options() unchanged from net/tcp.h to linux/tcp.h,
near its corresponding struct tcp_options_received (prior to changes).
This is a straightforward re-implementation of an earlier (year-old)
patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original
author (Adam Langley):
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586
These functions will also be used in subsequent patches that implement
additional features.

reverse path filter sysctl) has changed the logic of rp_filter. The
document about rp_filter is out of date. Now, setting
conf/all/rp_filte with 0 can also enable source validation.

Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: new sysctl for sending TLLAO with unicast NAs
Neighbor advertisements responding to unicast neighbor solicitations
did not include the target link-layer address option. This patch adds
a new sysctl option (disabled by default) which controls whether this
option should be sent even with unicast NAs.
The need for this arose because certain routers expect the TLLAO in
some situations even as a response to unicast NS packets.
Moreover, RFC 2461 recommends sending this to avoid a race condition
(section 4.4, Target link-layer address)
